1. What is the proper amount to take?

[In her writings Rene Caisse suggested that people take 2 oz. of tea once or twice daily on an empty stomach. Many of our customers tell us that they prefer to take their 2 oz. of tea at bedtime, and then again first thing in the morning. These are times when the stomach is normally empty, and when the tea can be absorbed by the body without having to compete with food in the stomach.

Most take the tea cold, as it comes from the refrigerator. Some mix it with a small amount of water. Others choose to heat it, but remember DO NOT MICROWAVE the herbal tea as some of the teas healing powers will be destroyed.

2. What is the difference between the Essiac tea which has 4 herbs in it, and the tea which has 8 herbs in it?

[The original formula which Rene Caisse got from the Ojibway Indians has 4 herbs in it: Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Rhubarb Root, and Slippery Elm Bark. It was this 4 herb formula which she presented to the Canadian medical authorities for evaluation in 1937. Later, during the 1950s when she worked with Dr. Charles Brusch in Massachusetts, they on occasion added small "potentizing" amounts of 4 other herbs to the formula. Dr. Brusch later presented this "8" herb formula to the public. In our opinion, both formulas are basically the same. In the 4 herb formula Burdock Root and Sheep Sorrel  comprise 93 % of the herbs. In the 8 herb formula they comprise 92 % of the herbs.. We use the 8 herb formula.]

4. Does the herbal tea really work?

[ We could not stay in business, given the low costs of our products, if the tea didn't please our customers. As a matter of fact, word-of-mouth sells more herbal tea for us than anything else. We sell more of our "Bonus Buy" (buy 12, get 18) to our established customers than anything else.]
